Clinical Trial Summary

Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth. This phase II trial is studying how well lapatinib works in treating brain metastases in patients with stage IV breast cancer and brain metastases.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the objective response rate in the central nervous system (CNS) (complete plus partial responses), as assessed by standard MRI, to oral GW572016 among patients with progressive brain metastases from HER2-positive breast cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the site of first failure (CNS, extra-CNS, both, or death) and overall survival of patients treated with GW572016 for brain metastases.

II. To evaluate the overall objective response rate (complete plus partial response) and time to first progression at any site.

III. To assess quality of life (QOL), neurologic QOL, and cause of death in patients treated with GW572016 for brain metastases.

IV. To determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicities associated with oral GW572016, given at a dose of 750 mg orally, twice daily.

V. To evaluate the sensitivity of PET with dedicated brain sequences to detect brain metastases from breast cancer.

VI. To explore the relationship between decline in PET uptake at 1 week and decline in PET uptake at 8 weeks.

VII. To characterize the vessel patterns seen on MRI at baseline, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks of treatment with GW572016.

VIII. To describe changes in serum HER2 ECD over time. IX. To describe the baseline EGFR, HER2, IGF-IR, and degree of HER2 gene amplification in primary tumor blocks.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive oral lapatinib twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at 8 weeks.

Patients are followed every 2 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 0.5-1.5 years.

- Barrier methods including diaphragm or condom with a spermicide Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately

- Able to swallow and retain oral medications

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.0 x 10^9/L

- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to entering the study or who have unresolved or unstable, serious toxicity from prior administration of another investigational drug and/or of prior cancer treatment

- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents

- Patients may not be receiving concurrent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy (including an ErbB1 and/or ErbB2 inhibitor), or hormonal therapy for treatment of their cancer; concurrent treatment with bisphosphonates is allowed

- Patients with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis as the only site of CNS involvement will be excluded from this clinical trial, because disease is not measurable, and standard treatment options may differ

- Concurrent disease or condition that would make the subject inappropriate for study participation, or any serious medical or psychiatric disorder that would interfere with the subject's safety

- Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent

- Pre-existing severe cerebral vascular disease, such as stroke involving a major vessel, CNS vasculitis, or malignant hypertension

- History of arrhythmias requiring medications, or clinically significant, with the exception of asymptomatic atrial fibrillation requiring anticoagulation

- Myocardial infarction < 6 months from study entry
